McKidd's Harry Potter Near-Miss Revealed
9 May
Summary
- Kevin McKidd was offered a role in Harry Potter's final films.
- He had to decline due to a prior TV show contract uncertainty.
- McKidd expressed excitement about potential future Harry Potter roles.
Kevin McKidd, a familiar face from Grey's Anatomy, recently disclosed a significant near-miss with the Harry Potter film franchise. He was offered a role in the final two installments, 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and Part 2,' but ultimately had to decline. This missed opportunity stemmed from contract obligations with his former show, 'Journeyman,' which was awaiting renewal at the time.
McKidd, a self-proclaimed massive Harry Potter fan, still laments not being able to participate in the original films, where he believes he would have played a werewolf character. He directed the recent season 22 finale of Grey's Anatomy, marking his departure after 18 seasons. The actor is reportedly excited about the prospect of a future role in HBO's upcoming Harry Potter television series, which plans to adapt each book per season.
